Frequently
Asked Questions

How long will it take for my loan or mortgage application to be approved?

Once you submit your loan or mortgage application online, we will contact you within 1 business day to obtain the required information. Under normal circumstances, once your application is complete, approval should only take an additional business day.

What is a co-signer?

A co-signer may be required if you do not qualify for a loan or mortgage on your own. A co-signer is legally responsible to make the loan or mortgage payments if you default.

How can I calculate how much I can save with a consolidation loan?

Use our PayOff Debt Calculator to estimate how much you could save in interest by wrapping all your debt into one monthly loan payment.

Do you have to be a Cambrian member to get a loan through Cambrian?

You do not need to be a member to apply for a loan. We will open a Cambrian membership if your loan application is approved.

What is collateral and do I need it to get a loan?

In some cases, you will need to provide collateral to secure your loan. This depends on inpidual circumstances like income, assets, existing debt and credit score.

Collateral is an asset of value – generally a vehicle or your home, which provides security to the loan. Providing collateral can lower your interest rate, and help you get approved for a loan if your credit score does not qualify you for an unsecured loan.

How does my credit score impact my ability to get a loan?

A higher credit score means your credit history is good, therefore financial institutions will have more confidence in your ability to pay back your loan on time.
